Welcome brennalynn! Even though we think of 72 hours as 3 days, I think in hospital speak, 72 hours is anything less then 96 hours, you know what I mean? So, overnight is less than 24 hours (usually 23 hours). One day in the hospital is over 24 hours but under 48. So technically you could be in 2 nights (depending on the time of your surgery). Hope that helps! Glad to have you in our group!

Thank you. The surgeons office keeps saying 72 hrs, but they don't have my post op until 4 days later. I am really hoping to fly home sooner, I will miss my kids terribly!

I have 150 to lose! Looking forward to our big losses!

I have my surgery scheduled for 12/2!!!! I'm so excited and nervous. My first surgery!!! I have over 200 lbs to lose! Any other big losers here?

Good luck to you, Baeball Mom! Glad to have you in here with us!

I am scheduled for 12/17/18. I have my barium swallow tomorrow, Manometry on the 25th, Anesthesia Eval on the 11th of December and i am ready to go... It has been a long journey but i am glad i have stuck with it... Good luck to everybody!!

Fingers crossed, Jenny! Nice start to the new year!

I might be a December Sleever! I am trying to tie up a few loose ends!

Also depends on your insurance and stuff !

Thx!! So would you say it's unrealistic to have first meeting Dec 6 and have surgery in Jan?

Are you going through insurance or are you self pay?

I don't think you can have your first meeting in Dec and surgery in January .. because of all the pre op testing and medicaid takes longer than medicare and I think 1 of them requires a supervised diet but don't hold me to it ..

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
